<h3>At a Glance</h3>
<p>One of the prophecies of Alaundo says that armies of undead and fiends will one day destroy <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/cormyr/" title="Cormyr">Cormyr</a>, unless it is defended by those who should have been dead.</p>
<p>The <b>Lords Who Sleep</b> are Cormyr&#8217;s response to this prophecy.  They are over thirty fighters, preserved in stasis, concealed in a cave bristling with traps and protected by a long succession of trusted guardians (currently <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/emperel/" title="Emperel">Emperel</a>).  Each is equipped with <i>wings of flying</i>; they also have magical armor and weapons, and many potions and other enchanted items.</p>
<p>The royal court of Cormyr refers to these hidden warriors as the Sleeping Sword, to mislead any who may be listening and wish harm on the kingdom.</p>
